Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

I watched these movies when I was a child, and I don’t remember much besides a few scenes. If anything sounds familiar to any of you, I’d appreciate any guesses you might have.

Movie 1: A man walks at night, humming, with a cane. He reaches a gate and jumps over it. He is attacked by a group of men, probably masked, who beat him up badly because they seem to want some information (his bloodied face appears on the screen as he speaks).
The masked men then head to a condominium building where two men are inside, one of them very overweight, wearing only underwear. The masked men start trying to break down the door, and the overweight man tries to stop them alone while shouting for the other man to help him. Eventually, the criminals manage to get in.

Movie 2: It opens with scenes of a wealthy man in a car, holding a cane with an animal’s head (possibly an eagle) on the top.
Later, other scenes show a man seemingly undergoing some kind of medical experiment or procedure, with electrodes placed on his head. In another scene, he is drawing and says something like, “I like to draw horses.”

Movie 3: Two detectives find a dead man inside a washing machine, which is still running. One of them comments something like, “He broke his neck.”

The details above may not be entirely accurate since I saw these movies when I was a child.

One thing is certain: I watched all these movies at some point in the 1980s, possibly between 1984 and 1986.

Movie 1 - I don't have any idea.

Movie 2 - could be: "Cyborg Cop", but it is from 1993.

Movie 3 - could be: Identity (2003) - according to HouseGraham from Reddit.

Next my guess is "House of Lost Souls" (TV Movie 1989)

None of them, pal. Two of those were released after the 80s, and it's not House of the lost Souls, either.

But thank you!

There’s no way a man could fit into my washing machine let alone a dead man.

I've seen it done before, and a lot of them are larger than this one.

Maybe, in the movie, it wasnt an ordinary domestic washing machine. Maybe they were at a laundromat.

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

Dead men would fit in easier because you wouldn't have to worry about the contortions necessary. But that's neither here nor there because realism is not a prerequisite for a film, and is unrelated to the issue of someone trying to find a film, anyway.

Movie 3 - maybe Enigma (1982) ?

:
Nope... I know this one.

Movie 2 - maybe Arklon from "Beastmaster 2" ?

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

Nope... Not at all, pal. All the movies are based on modern settings, so to speak.

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

I don't think it's either of these two for #2, but they're the first two possibilities that sprung to mind (from seeing their trailers in the past).

The Computer Killers (aka Horror Hospital) (1973)

The Mind Snatchers (1972) (with Christopher Walkin)

But I guess you could clarify if they look like they're from the right era (Not sure if you saw them in 80-84 means they were from that era, or if they were on TV or possibly at a drive-in that showed older movies).

Are you sure that it was in 80s? I found possible movie 3: Vortice mortale (1993) ?

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

Now, the movie "A Clockwork Orange" has people carrying canes, wearing masks, attacking other people, breaking into a house, then later the main one has to undergo medical experiments while strapped to a chair. But that combines bits of your number one and number two.

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

#2 might be The Ipcress File

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

Second one: The Wolfman 2010 ???
It reminds me so much of the two scenes:

In the beginning, on the train, Max Von Sydow's character gives Lawrence the silver cane with the wolf head on it.
Lawrence is later put into an asylum, and they experiment on him...
About horses I don't remember anything

Other suggestion:
Forgotten movies were made in USA? Every movie? :)

(I cannot multiquote, I dont know why. I will have to mention each of you who replyed, through more than one post.)

@Little Ash Ive watched these trailers, but I will have to watch the whole movies to be absolutelly sure—but I didn't see a man with a cane, in neither of them.
I believe they are movies from the 70s or very early 80s. I watched other movies back then and later managed to find out their names, through research. Some of them were: Borderline (1980), Spectre (1977), Body Snatchers (1978), and North Sea Hijack (1980). I watched them at home on free-to-air TV. My parents seem to not care about what was on while I was in front of the TV.

@AngeliqueDeWill and @wositelec Yes, I've seen these movies in the early/mid '80s. There's no doubt about it. I was just a little kid back then, I couldn't read or write yet, and I didn't know it was important to pay attention to the name of a movie. So, all I remember are scenes from them in my head.

@wositelec Nope... That's not 2-Headed Transplant.

Re: Help: I'm looking for 3 movies.
 

@KEVP Yep, not Clockwork Orange, which is one of my faves, by the way.


@xSookieStackhouse I feel movie 1 and 3 are crime thrillers. Movie 2 might be a crime thriller as well, maybe with a drama undertone. And as far as I can recall, none of them had phantasy, horror or comic elements.
